I'm desperate. And he's the only one who can save me. I'm caught in a conflict I never chose—and marked as a target. The only person who can come to my rescue? The one person I don't want -- our chieftain's rakish son.
After he saves my life a second time, maybe there is more to him than meets the eye. And having a warrior at my disposal is helpful when Under-Forge soldiers sneak into the northern parts of Frostben kingdom and continue to attack us. He's keeping our tribe, and our kingdom, together. By the skin of his teeth.

It comes down to my safety, and Emrys decides that the best option is a drastic one. He brings me to his tower, and now I'm living with him. And falling for him. Which I should not, which I cannot, do. Yet, when he touches me, fire burns throughout my body, and I'm marked as his.

But around us, danger bubbles beneath the landscape. Witches are disappearing. The Fae are watching. War is on the horizon. And the threats surrounding me may be connected to the same forces that destroyed Emrys' family a decade ago. Some oaths are as dangerous to keep as they are to break.
